I found it interesting that the reviews were all over the map on this wine so I decided to just try it myself. My conclusion is that either the negative reviewers had bad bottles for whatever reason or they are cmparing to other varietals that they might be more familiar and not Grenache or even GSM wine. Is this the best Grenache I have ever had? No. But hey, it is still pretty good, just not as complex or possessing the minerlity found in Spanish Grenaches.
Light-medium in body and that characteristic dustiness is present but some nice raspberry on the front of the pallate and a dry dusty lingering finish. Nothing wrong with this wine and a very enjoyable Grenache. Nothing wrong with this wine at all. But for same money you can probably find some better Grenaches, most likely from Spain. Oh, no reason why this wine couldn't cellar for a couple more years.

Very weak, light, not a good Grenache. May have even been bad or past prime. Deemed not calorie worthy after tasting and poured down the drain.

Very smooth, nice light fruitiness, subtle spicy complexity, long finish and well-balanced
